McAuliffe Weekly Mission Update

Thank you so much for coming out for parent-teacher conferences this week! Our hallways were buzzing with energy, and it was such a joy seeing our school filled with so many familiar and new faces.

I want to give a special shout-out to everyone who braved squeezed knees and folded legs in those tiny classroom chairs. Your commitment to sitting through those quick-fire updates, celebrating your child's growth, and partnering with our teachers means everything to our school community.

We know how busy life gets, so thank you for making the time to be here. We are so lucky to have such a supportive community of families walking alongside us every day.

I hope you all enjoy a well-deserved, relaxing weekend

🚗 Parking Lot & Dismissal Reminder

TK/KINDER FAMILIES ONLY, PLEASE! ⭐

From 2:45–3:00 p.m., the drive-through lanes and road directly in front of the school are RESERVED EXCLUSIVELY for TK/Kinder parents picking up their youngest Challengers.

Families picking up 1st–5th grade students should NOT enter or line up in these lanes during this time. Please wait until our TK/Kinder students have been picked up before pulling out or lining up to pick up your 1st–5th grade student. This will help us keep traffic moving safely and efficiently for our youngest students and their families.

🚙 Please do not park or leave your car unattended in the drive-through/drop-off lanes. Keeping vehicles moving is essential for a safe and smooth arrival and dismissal process.

➡️ When dropping off your child, please pull forward as far as possible. This allows more families to safely enter and exit the parking lot and keeps traffic flowing.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and partnership as we work together to keep our parking lot safe, organized, and moving! 💙⭐

🎉 Birthday Celebrations

We love celebrating our students and making their birthdays special! However, many of our students have severe food allergies, so we ask for your help in keeping all of our Challengers safe.

If you would like your child to celebrate their birthday with classmates, please consider sending small non-food treats, such as pencils, erasers, stickers, or other small items.

Families may also order ice cream through the school cafeteria as a birthday treat.

Please remember:

• Homemade treats are not permitted.
• Cupcakes are highly discouraged due to allergy and safety concerns.

Thank you for helping us create fun and inclusive birthday celebrations while keeping the safety of all our students a priority! 🎂🎈
